The Nobles

Chapter 26

EGON dodged one of the S Class puppet. This is the same half blood guy he and Theodred met few days ago in the auction. Looks like he badly wants the map.

"You're an S Class? Why are you f*****g weak?" he can't help but to mock.

Sumama ang ekspresyon ng kaniyang kalaban. He's a meter away from him. In his calculation, this half blood's offensive power isn't quite strong. He notice how he is maintaining the distance between them.

"I'm not the fifth S Class if I'm weak."

Tumaas ang kilay niya. There are only 12 S Class, and this guy is the fifth? There must be remaining tricks on his sleeve.

Makakapal na ang rosas at ang matinik na tangkay nito sa paligid. They are in the mid air and his power is also hanging in the air together with him. Samantalang ang kaharap niya ay naglalabas lamang ng mga kaluluwa ng ilang half bloods na patay na. He's sure there are souls of Nobles.

"Why are you making this fight boring as f**k? It's making me want to kill you in an instant," he scoff in annoyance.

"You're not using your full strength, so am I."

This guys is getting into his nerves. He's calm as f*ck again. He's itching to wipe off the arrogance on his face.

He activated half of his power this time. Ngayon, napakalaking bahagi na sa ere ang sasakupan niya. Rinig niya ang ilang mura sa kaniya ng kasama dahil doon.

"You're too weak for a Noble, if you don'f want to die, give me the map."

He saw how the half bloods eye turned darker as he mock him.

Weak for a Noble? He never heard those kind of insult his whole life.

And the map no longer exist anyways, he's wasting his energy here.

"Isa ka lang sa mga Noble na hindi sapat para tingnan ko."

Kinuyom niya ang kamao niya. He mockingly laugh. What the hell is with this half blood?

"You wanna see true power?" his voice is threatening.

The power rushed in him as he activated his full power. Alam niyang sa ngayon, unti unti nang nasasakop ng kaniyang rosas at ang tangkay nito ang buong paligid. If one is fool enough, the roses will devour the person in a whole and will leave no trace.

"You're courting death!"

His enhance eye sight made him see even the inside of the person's body. He can clearly see the vital points and the weakest point, also the flow of the power and his blood.

He's not doing anything but there's a rush of power inside him, he can see that clearly.

Walang ekspresyon ang half blood na kaharap niya kahit na nag-uumapaw na ang kapangyarihan na nilabas niya.

"Is that your all? Then taste your f*****g death! My newest soul, abide your Master!"

Itinaas nito ang isang braso kasabay noon ay ang isang malaking pag-ilaw, and when the light vanished, he saw the soul of a person he knew.

Nanlaki ang mata niya ngunit kinalaunan naging seryoso ang ekspresyon.

"Shocked? This is one of your friend, right?" tumawa ng malakas ang half blood samantalang siya ay galit na nilabas ang mas marami pang nakakalasong bulaklak sa paligid.

The f**k. He's seeing the soul of Duncan Emmanuel...

"My puppet, kill your friend," the S Class' voice show his killing intent.

"You f*****g half blood."

Sumugod siya sa lalaki ngunit hinarangan siya ng kaluluwa ni Duncan. Agad siyang bumagsak sa lupa, maging ang nasa paligid niya ay lumubog at nasira dahil sa malakas na pagkontrol ni Duncan sa gravity ng lugar.

He stand up to motion his hand, he released his roses towards the half blood's direction. Sa gulat niya ay minwestera lamang nit ang kamay at nawala agad iyon.

Duncan's soul came to him in full speed. He's using his control in gravity, planning to bury him in the ground.

The soul isn't using the full power of Duncan so he can stand up to fight it.

"Huh, it's fun beating you up like this, " sambit niya habang sinisipa ang tiyan nito kasabay ng mga tangkay ng rosas na nasa paanan at handang kumain ng buhay.

"Who would have thought a day like this would come?" tanong niya rito kahit wala namang kakayahang sumagot ang kausap.

Sinuntok siya ni Duncan na nagpatilapon sa kaniya, f**k gravity. The force is strong but not as strong as when Duncan is in his full power.

Mabilis siyang tumayo, ginamit ang bilis para pumunta sa mismong harapan ng kaluluwa ni Duncan. Iisa lamang ang pinapakitang lakas nito na alam niyang madali lamang talunin.

Sinakal niya ito, at sa huli, pinalibutan ng tangkay ng rosas. Unti unti itong naglaho sa harapan niya.

But before he knew it, a sword is thrust through his stomach.

Naramdaman niya ang pagdaloy ng dugo mula sa bibig niya at nalasahan niya ang malametal nitong lasa.

"You're still too weak to face me."

Umubo siya ng umubo habang pinapakiramdaman ang saksak nito.

Maya maya ay tumawa siya ng malakas. He laughed like there's no forever.

Damn. This fight is making him happy as f*ck. It's been so long since he experience this fun.

"W-Why you are laughing in the verge of your death?!"

Tinangga niya ang pagkakasaksak sa kaniya para harapin ang half blood.

Gulat itong tumingin sa kaniya. Halatang hindi inaasahan ang ginawa niya.

"You think you could fool me like this?" tumawa siya, "Ah, I was about to believe until you show Duncan's soul. That lazy ass probably finished fastly the fight with your minions because he's lazy as f**k. A mere A Class half blood won't harm him you f*****g idiot."

Lalo niyang nagustuhan ang pamumutla nito.

"Illusionist? You're a good one I must say, you can make a person feel reality inside the illusion, but too bad your opponent is me."

Maya maya ay unti unting nagbago ang paligid. Nanlaki ang mata niya dahil sa nakikita. The f**k, he go all out awhile ago. The illusion let him see that his power is controlled, but to think that the roses and it's thorns cover the mansion of Claudius and beyond...

Oh f*****g s**t. Claudius will kill him!

Nilingon niya ang S Class half blood.

"You motherf*cker! Now I'm really dead because of you!'

Sinugod niya ito ngunit may ginuha itong isang bilog na bagay at biglang naglaho na lamang na parang bula.

DUNCAN'S eyebrow is twitching. Nagpapahinga na siya sa loob ng sariling kwarto nang maramdaman niya ang pagbitak bitak ng pader at ng kisame. He knew one of the went berserk. Ramdam na ramdam niya ang kapangyarihan ni Egon sa buong mansion. No wonder it grew darker, natatabunan na ang buong mansion.

Tinapos niya nga ng maaga ang mga nakalaban kanina, tapos aabalahin pa siya ng ganitong bagay.

Tumayo siya at hindi maipinta ang ekspresyong naglakad patungo sa kaniyang laboratory.

Nilabas niya ang kwintas niya na gawa niya mismo. This is kind of a storage room, but more complex. Sa lahat, siya lang ang mayroon nito, hindi na siya gumawa ng marami dahil inabot ng ilang taon bago magawa ang isang ito.

It a storage room that the holder can place a huge room, and the holder can also go in and out of the dimension inside the necklace.

Ginawa niya ito, mga panahong hindi pa siya umaalis sa Nobilis, times when the King was out of reach. He stayed at the Victoria's town for the resources for this necklace.

He activated the necklace, and it immediately devour the whole laboratory together with the materials inside.

Matapos nito, dumaan siya sa pinakamalapit na bintana upang lumabas. He motion his hand to control the gravity over the area. May ilan nang parte ng mansion ang gumuho, ngunit kaya niya pang alisin ang mga nakatabong mga bulaklak sa paligid.

He gather his power, sighing, he release almost his full strength to quickly free the power from it's predator.

Damn, Egon.

Lumabas siya sa isang bintana nang bumagsak na ang mga bulaklak na rosas sa paligid. Ngunit kita niya ring bumagsak na ng tuluyan ang buong mansion.

He saw Claudius and Egon fighting, and Guillaume is busy filming the fight and the collapsing mansion.

They are all in mid air, while the two are fighting, he is looking over the humans eyeing what's happening.

Fuck it.

May nakita pa siyang media at mga cellphones na nakatutok sa kanila. Sa dambuhalang tangkay ng rosas, and it's tons of dangerous petals around. At ang gumuhong mansion ng may-ari ng village na ito.

Over the crowd below, he saw one of Claudius' car. Bumaba si Theodred at ang batang si Devian. Parehas naguguluhan sa nangyari, kapwa nanlaki ang mata ng mga ito nang mamataan ang sinapit ng tirahan.

Nilingon niya si Guillaume na nasa tabi na niya ngayon.

"Where are you going to sleep now? I'm dead tired, I have no decent sleep since last week."

He also wonder where are they going to stare. They have a large amount of money, but oh well, he's too lazy to care.

Bumama ang katabi niya para salubungin sila Rainier. He saw how Guillaume carry the kid, while talking to the other member of the Four Guards.

Rinig niya mula sa kinalalagyan niya ang usapan ng dalawa, maging ang bulung-bulungan ng mga tao at ang mga reporters na nais kumausap sa Nobles na nasa baba.

Buti na lang, natabunan na ng kapangyarihan ni Egon ang mga bangkay. Surely, wala nang natitira pa kahit isang parte ng katawan nito. Even the teeth, nails, or hairs

Sunod na rin siyang bumaba dahil sa mga narinig niyang sinabi ni Theodred. Seems like someone ambushed them.

"Smack those guys head, they are making a scene," naabutan niyang sambit ni Theodred.

Natawa lang si Guillaume sabay bulong sa batang karga.

Nilingon naman siya ni Rainier. Nagpapaypay ito habang nakatingin ng seryoso sa kaniya.

Kunot noo niya itong tinanong, "What?"

"Someone gave me an information about an upcoming ball."

He shrugged his shoulders. Yeah, he heard about that, that's week from now, but he's too lazy to come.

"You should go there."

"Don't want to, I'm too busy."

"You choose. But anyways, what are we going to do about them?" nilingon nito ang mga papalapit na reporter.

Isang babaeng reporter ang tuluyang lumapit sa kanila.

"Hi, Sir, are you a Noble?" tanong nito sa kaniya.

He ignore the girl and turn his back on her. Napanganga naman si Guillaume na nadaanan niya habang nakatingin sa kaniya.

He fly towards the two, Egon and Claudius who are still busy fighting their frustrations out.

Itinapat niya ang hintuturo sa dalawa ang sa isang iglap pareho na itong nakadapa sa semento.

Sunod sunod na mura ang natanggap niya dahil sa ginawa.

"The f*ck, Emmanuel?!"

"Dude, you surprised the f*ck out of me!"

Sinamaan niy nang tingin ang dalawang kakatayo lamang.

"You are letting the world see so much."

Nilingon ng dalawa ang mga tao at reporters na tiningnan niya. Finally, the two realized the situation. Napakamot ng batok si Egon at si Claudius naman ay masama na naman ang tingin dito.

He sigh and let them do what they want.

Tahimik na lang siyang nanonood sa mga nangyayari. Guillaume is busy with Devian, Theodred is talking to the reporters, and the two, Egon and Claudius are fighting verbally this time.

What a mess.

He fly away from that place to seek for a temporary house. He think a penthouse is good, it's enough to cater him and his laboratory, of course. He'll also take note to take Devian away from those idiots when he find a house.

Buti na lamang, hindi na siya nahirapang maghanap dahil malapit sa paaralan ni Devian, may nahanap siyang penthouse at the top of a building.

He showed the pin, and the humans accomodate him immediately. It's just to let them know his identity. They are pins for humans and half bloods too, but humans barely use them, together with the other races.

Those pin is like a free pass to Nobilis, all Nobles has that, but there are few humans and half bloods who have a pin that allows them to enter Nobilis.

When he saw the penthouse, he immediately goes to one of the rooms to let out his laboratory inside the necklace.

Matapos ng lahat, napagpasyahan niya nang matulog at magpahinga. Who cares about those fools, there are too engrossed with the situation, he just want to sleep and go all out of being lazy as f*ck.

Ipinikit niya ang mata niya ang ipinahinga ang katawan. Finally, there's peace.

Pagod pa rin siya sa isang linggong pananatili sa laboratory at nagkaron pa ng hindi inaasahang labanan dahil lamang sa isang hindi na naman nag-e-exist na mapa.

What a life. He miss his Master already.
